Meet our Team

Hello! I’m Lauren

I’m a North Carolina native raised in the Christian church. I enjoy exploring nature, front-porch sitting, hanging out with my old dog, kitty and chickens! Music has always been a source of comfort and way of processing my own emotions. Learning to play the acoustic guitar, tending to my house plants and taking beach trips are my favorite therapeutic activities. I also volunteer as a YoungLife College leader in Raleigh! I strive to connect with others, and my gift of empathy seems to be a grace God has given me early on. I value truly authentic and safe relationships and try to give to others what I prize so much myself!

My practice is informed both by lived experience and evidence-based practices. You can count on my ability to personally sympathize with struggles through grief and anxiety, as well as competency in CBT, Narrative therapy, and Biblically-integrated counseling theories. How we interpret our stories, what we believe about our self and others impacts everything! I work with a wide age range of individuals from 8 years to middle/late adulthood who struggle with various anxiety and depressive disorders, relational and spiritual concerns, navigating difficult life adjustments, grief, and trauma. I love leading clients towards deeper intimacy with Jesus as we discuss struggles through everyday life. Whether you’re a new Christian, have church wounds, seeking, struggling, doubting, or unsure where your beliefs stand, I’d love to work with you. A Biblical lens is not forced, rather optional for clients. Whether clinical, Spiritual, or an integration of both, I believe it is crucial and most loving to partner with a person where they are, in order to lead them to greater places and true healing.

If this sounds like a good fit for you and your needs, then I encourage you to take the next step, and reach out to schedule with me!
